The Farmers Boys - The Dragon Vly

A newsletter produced and published by the Redcoats Society of Friends of the Regimental Museum, located at the Wardrobe, Cathedral Close Salisbury.  This newsletter is published three times a year on the Regimental anniversaries commemorated by the Duke of Edinburgh’s Royal Regiment (Berkshire and Wiltshire)

TOFREK – March

MAIWAND – July

FEROZESHAH – December

The main aim of the newsletter is to keep the supporters of the museum up to date on what’s taking place at the museum, in addition regimental articles of interest that are otherwise hidden in the archive.

Allocation of places to attend the Commemoration Service on Saturday 26 October are now closed.

Parking spaces have been allocated to the Wardrobe Car Park and the Cathedral Close  car parking spaces, and all of those allocated have been informed.

There is no additional parking space within the Close, so if travelling by car please use the city car parks. 

We look forward to seeing everyone for the service on Saturday 26 October and have a safe journey.

Hi folks.

I hope this is a timely reminder to everyone that the Ferozeshah Gathering for 2024 is just over 6 weeks away. As always, about now, I start to get palpitations because the numbers who have currently committed to attend are still very low.

I endeavour to keep the cost of the event to a minimum and it is just £8 per person from which I must pay for the hire of the venue and its staffing, the Church, the catering and a few other sundries. The catering team need to procure food sufficient for everyone but are unable to even plan that now for fear of waste of food and money.

Could I please ask - if you are intending to be there and have not already done so - to send in your return and payment as soon as possible in order that I can confirm the bookings of the venues and get some much-needed restful sleep.

Thank you.

Norman.

PS. You should note that the timings for this year are a bit earlier than normal. Meet at the wyvern club from 1030 hrs onwards, the church service will start at 1200 hrs.
